The problem
Intervention: Perceived social support from family, friends, and significant others as a protective factor
Who it was tested with: 5,936 secondary schoolgirls aged 15-20 years in Nigeria.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"we employed multilevel linear models with random intercepts for schools to test the direct (main) effects and within-level moderation of social support and SRGBV on girls' self-esteem, adjusting for student- and school-level covariates." The study used a quasi-experimental analytical approach with multiple levels and controls, though the cross-sectional nature limits causal claims to associations and conditional effects.
Cross-sectional design prevents causal inference. The study measures perceived rather than received support. Findings may not generalize beyond the Nigerian secondary school context or age group studied.
